A member asked:
Can i have do a bone scan with radiation in the iv if i can't handle iv iodine contrast? i don't want to have the same reaction.
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Should not: The material used for bone scan is different than IV contrast for CT. I am unaware of anyone having a reaction for this reason.

There are: contrast substances which can be used (or an "alternative" diagnostic test) for people with sensitivity or allergy to Iodine!!! Your ordering physician MUST be TOLD! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
